Auxiliary Materials
Liquid release agents, sealers and cleaners
Mould-preparation chemicals create a controlled release interface and protect the tool surface. They are used before lay-up, not as a replacement for process consumables.
In simple terms
Mould-preparation chemicals create a controlled release interface and protect the tool surface. They are used before lay-up, not as a replacement for process consumables.
Best for
Mould release on metal, composite, board and selected elastomeric tools.
Watch out for
Cleaner, sealer and release agent have different jobs. Compatibility with tool coating, resin, paint and future bonding must be verified.
Typical applications
Open moulding, infusion, prepreg tooling and repeated production cycles.
